How Much Weight Is Too Much? Can't Swim Up!

How much weight on your weight belt is too much when you are scuba diving and freediving. How much weight do you need before you cant get up and you are stuck on the bottom of the pool?

NEW FEAR UNLOCKED: not being able to swim up to the surface NEW FEAR UNLOCKED: not being able to get out of a suit

Don’t worry! These belts are very safe, they are very easy to remove and have a meaning for that. He is also a trained professional! Any questions ask me :)

[@Shadow-bk1im]

I know that people in medieval times would die if they got knocked off a boat while wearing armor due to drowning and this video really shows why. 30 pounds for armor or gear is fairly standard for medieval times for something like chainmail and it could be closer to like 60 pounds for plate armor. That would make swimming pretty much impossible.

If you couldn't have gotten all the way up, would you have dropped the weights near surface or go back down to lay them down (i would imagine lead has a potential of cracking tiles dropped from few meters)

[@NeoCreo1]

I absolutely loved the delivery on how to get up if you have to much weight. The comedic timing was excellent!

[@michaelboyle7281]

Crazy how this video showed up in my recomended feed literally the same day I remembered a specific fear that would sometimes happen when I was a diver. On some dives I would purposly get close to the bottom of the pool so I could push off the bottom and get up faster. But sometimes when you go off to push, you completely miss the bottom (and most of your air is blown out from the dive you just did) and so you're stuck either having to desperatly push yourself to the bottom so you can pop off and get to surface, or swim as fast as you can the rest of the 20 feet that you're under the water, which can just be stressful and make a few seconds feel alot longer than that lol

In WWII, the soldiers on D-day would have been carry somewhere around 60 lbs, or 27 kgs. Considering that wet clothes also add quite a bit of weight, it can be seen that water can be extremely dangerous!!!

Yeah, those scenes in Saving Private Ryan were disturbing. And that's if bullets didn't find a way to them.

As a diver it was really cool and funny to see you diving off the platforms! Nice job with the video it was very helpful

[@theyluvvherzz]

Agreed

[@ryanmaris1917]

Gear drops are something we are taught during combat water survival training in the army so you don't sink down with your gear. You are expected to be able to swim with your rifle however but its a pretty short distance. A lot of people struggle with the rifle part since they have little practice with side strokes.

[@petersmythe6462]

Honestly I never felt like I needed weight to sink. I remember when we would play sharks and minnows my strategy usually involved diving beneath the sharks and using superior submerged maneuverability and lower buoyancy to stop them from reaching me. It was a gamble though because they can easily outrun me at the surface.

[@petersmythe6462]

Including sharks who were swim team people. Funny thing is that the things that are helpful for swimming in a straight line at the surface don't matter submerged.

[@petermacleod5710]

You do in sea water. trying to dive with just a snorkel and no weights is hard work

[@petersmythe6462]

@@petermacleod5710 No honestly it's not. At least not for me. I had no trouble diving down and following little sea turtles around a coral reef one time (ok, maybe a little bit of trouble, they're super fast and turn on a dime), just goggles, snorkle, and swimsuit. Seawater is denser but not enough to make it even remotely difficult to control depth in my experience. It definitely didn't feel like I was fighting bouyancy. I'm sure if I just sat there I would eventually float to the surface unless fully exhaled or deep enough for my lungs to compress, but even with full air, if I moved horizontally at all it instantly overwhelmed the bouyant force.

[@pavesomsk908]

The suit is very comedic! it made my evening! music choice was good.

[@kirsten7118]

I put a bunch of dive bricks weighing roughly 15-18kg in a bag it was pretty fun swimming with it, not much struggle but thats probably because the pool was only 3m

having a pool since i was 2. seeing anything that deep looks so fun!

[@flares]

I am SO jealous. We used to have a pool with a sudden sloping floor like yours which went down to 12 ft. It went from 3ft, 3ft 6", 4ft, 4ft 6" up to 6ft 6". Then it suddenly sloped down to 12ft 6" where the diving boards were but we could still swim about in that area if we wanted. It was exciting swimming down in the 12ft area touching the floor, and we used to be able to wear face masks Then a few years ago the boring brigade decided to re-build it so the deep end was only 6ft. The diving area is now a separate pool and we're not allowed to wear masks.

[@tannerfilms7900]

[@onlinesensation1gp500]

The way he just came back up😂😂😂

[@zombieno1]

I had the same assumption that because I float like a cork, I would have trouble free diving. But once I went below a certain depth I became negatively buoyant and could stand on the bottom of the springs I was in. Once I pushed off the botton to resurface, I could feel myself becoming more buoyant and I rocketed back to the surface. I was a trippy sensation. Anyone else experience this? It was 28 ft deep I believe.

[@thirdspacemaker9141]

I’m so fat that I’m buoyant even after exhaling all the air that I can. I couldn’t drown in still water if I tried. Unfortunately, it makes diving down very difficult. We went to several springs in Florida, and it looked like everyone was having fun free diving down to the source. I struggled to get halfway down.

[@miekox5387]

This was fun to watch! Now i wonder how lifeguards safe others from drowning, or pull people out of the water. When you have an adult that's 60 - 80kg, surely it must be very difficult then. Or is it easier because most humans float?
